A reaction between ammonia and boron trifluoride is given below.
$$: \mathrm{NH}_3+\mathrm{BF}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{~N}: \mathrm{BF}_3$$
Identify the acid and base in this reaction. Which theory explains it? What is the hybridisation of $B$ and $N$ in the reactants?
Although $\mathrm{BF}_3$ does not have a proton but acts as Lewis acid as it is an electron deficient compound. It reacts with $\mathrm{NH}_3$ by accepting the lone pair of electrons from $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and complete its octet. The reaction can be represented by
$$\mathrm{BF}_3+: \mathrm{NH}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{BF}_3 \leftarrow \mathrm{NH}_3$$
Lewis electronic theory of acids and bases can explain it. Boron in $\mathrm{BF}_3$ is $s p^2$ hybridised where N in $\mathrm{NH}_3$ is $s p^3$ hybridised.
$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Following data is given for the reaction } \\ & \mathrm{CaCO}_3(\mathrm{~s}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaO}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \\ & \Delta_f H^{\ominus}[\mathrm{CaO}(s)]=-635.1 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ & \Delta_f H^{\ominus}\left[\mathrm{CO}_2(g)\right]=-393.5 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ & \Delta_f H^{\ominus}\left[\mathrm{CaCO}_3(s)\right]=-1206.9 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \end{aligned}$$
Predict the effect of temperature on the equilibrium constant of the above reaction.
Given that,
$\begin{aligned} \Delta_f H^{\ominus}[\mathrm{CaO}(s)] & =-635.1 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ \Delta_f H^{\ominus}\left[\mathrm{CO}_2(g)\right] & =-393.5 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ \Delta_f H^{\ominus}\left[\mathrm{CaCO}_3(s)\right] & =-1206.9 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\end{aligned}$
In the reaction,
$\begin{gathered}\mathrm{CaCO}_3(\mathrm{~s}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CaO}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{CO}_2(g) \\ \Delta_f H^{\ominus}=\Delta_f H^{\ominus}[\mathrm{CaO}(\mathrm{s})]+\Delta_f H^{\ominus}\left[\mathrm{CO}_2(g)\right]-\Delta_f H^{\ominus}\left[\mathrm{CaCO}_3(s)\right] \\ \therefore\quad\Delta_f H^{\ominus}=-635.1+(-393.5)-(-1206.9)=178.3 \mathrm{kJmol}^{-1}\end{gathered}$
Because $\Delta H$ value is positive, so the reaction is endothermic. Hence, according to Le-Chatelier's principle, reaction will proceed in forward direction on increasing temperature. Thus, the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction increases.

For the reaction,
$\mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{~g})$
Equilibrium constant $K_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{NH}_3\right]^2}{\left[\mathrm{~N}_2\right]\left[\mathrm{H}_2\right]^3}$
A. The given reaction $\left[2 \mathrm{~N}_2(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 4 \mathrm{NH}_3(g)\right]$ is twice the above reaction. Hence, $K=K_c^2$
B. The reaction $\left[2 \mathrm{NH}_3(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{N}_2(g)+3 \mathrm{H}_2(g)\right]$ is reverse of the above reaction. Hence, $K=\frac{1}{K_c}$
C. The reaction $\left[\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~N}_2(g)+\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NH}_3(g)\right]$ is half of the above reaction. Hence, $K=\sqrt{K_c}=K_c^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
